    Summary

    Whitaker avoided Abbot's wide-eyed stare, clearly wishing the floor would swallow him up with it.
    --

    Or...what if it wasn’t Santos that found Whitaker in that abandoned room.

    Summary

    Jack Abbot is beyond exhausted when he finds a med student crying in the hallway. So far past dealing with the crying that he tries to convince the med student to a marriage of convenience just to stop the tears. The longer he thinks on it though, the more he realizes that marrying the little mouse, Dennis Whitaker, might actually make sense.

    Robby is convinced Jack is having a mid life crisis. Or a nervous breakdown. Or petty revenge for his dissapointment in Robby sleeping with Collins. Regardless, he doesn’t know how to help the med student Jack is marrying.

    Dennis can’t keep doing this. He’s homeless, broke, and about to have to drop out of med school when he’s so close to finishing. If an ER attending is going to offer a guest room to crash in and covering the expenses of med school, he might just go ahead and marry him. He can always figure things out later, right?

    Summary

    Dennis Whitaker has lived a life full of religious speculation, pain, and chronic depression/anxiety. Growing up the youngest of four in Broken Bow, Nebraska led him into early childhood trauma. In a town that could be dated back to the late 1800's, and hardly had even changed since then, there wasn’t much room for Dennis to become anything other than what his parents wanted him to be, a rancher, just like the rest of his brothers, and his father. When the opportunity to study Theology in college arises, Dennis agrees. A year into his studies, Dennis changes his major to medicine without anyone knowing. When his family receives a letter in the mail stating that Dennis changed his major, he is given two choices. Drop out and accept his godforsaken fate in Nebraska, or leave indefinitely. Choosing the latter, Dennis finds himself homeless while studying medicine. He doesn't let this deter him, and later makes it to his residency at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center. Now entering his fourth year as a med student, he’s entering his emergency medicine rotation, where he meets his new superiors, Michael Robinavitch, and Jack Abbot.

    Summary

    “It’s you,” he chokes. “Okay? It’s fucking—you.”

    Dennis knows he must look like a wild animal. He feels like one, eyes blown wide, chest heaving under the effort it took to keep that in.

    For a split second, he’s thirteen again, kneeling in a dark confessional booth that smells like dust and old varnish. Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. There’s a man on the other side of the partition, shadowed and faceless. He braces for disappointment. For correction. No hail Marys passed through the lattice. No absolution.

    When he looks up now, it isn’t a priest staring back at him.

    It’s Robby. And Robby doesn’t look angry. It would’ve been easier if he had. Furious at the duty, as he called it, thrust upon him without consent. Anger, Dennis could survive. Instead, Robby looks incredulous, like he doesn’t even believe him.

    Without meaning for it to, the man had come to mean everything to Dennis. In turn, Dennis meant nothing to him. He’d known it already, somewhere deep down, but seeing it so plainly written across Robby’s face rips him open.

    Or Dennis has rejection sickness, and he must stay by Robby's side to recover. Alone.
